Descripción

Berrow is between Burnham-on-Sea (just to the South) and Brean (to the North). Sand dune systems stretch most of the way between the two. This Berrow section includes a Golf Course, a Local Nature Reserve (at the Northern end) and a very long sandy beach giving way to mudflats further from land. Between the Golf Course and beach the area is dominated by brackish marshland with extensive areas of Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae) used to stabilise the dune system. Because of erosion in some areas DO NOT stray from worn pathways, some of which may be temporarily closed, NOTE the RIGHTS OF WAY across the golf course are clearly signed, BEWARE OF GOLF BALLS, DO NOT impede golfers when you cross over. During Autumn/Winter a large number of Zorzal Real and Zorzal Alirrojo feed on the Sea Buckthorn berries, Curruca Capirotada overwinter sometimes in large numbers, both Esmerejón and occasionally Búho Campestre can be found in Winter months. Correlimos Común, Zarapito Real, Chorlitejo Grande, Aguja Colipinta, Zarapito Trinador, Archibebe Claro and Correlimos Tridáctilo can be found in Winter or on Spring/Autumn Passage. Ostrero Euroasiático are present year round, as well as Tarro Blanco boosted by moulting birds in July. Collalba Gris can be found on the golf course mostly during Spring. Offshore Págalo Grande, Págalo Parásito, Charrán Común and Charrán ártico are often seen on passage. During Summer Curruca Zarcerilla, Curruca Zarcera, Carricerín Común, Carricero Común​​​ are present, whilst Bigotudo​​​​​​ are still sporadically seen throughout the year.
